I used to live in Hathern and I can assure you, aside from a couple of pubs (Crown, Anchor Inn, cant remember the other two...) there is little else. A mile and a half down the road (A6 south) however, there's Loughborough which is full of Indian restaurants, and you can even stagger home afterwards if you decide to overdo it on the drink.

There is a large proportion of Indians living in Loughborough too, so chances are many of the restaurants there are 'authentic'.
